Abstract

The work aims to establish a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the determination of four alternative plasticizers (APs) in plastic food packaging materials. The pretreatment method and gas chromatography conditions were optimized to improve the separation and sensitivity of the four APs. For water-based, acidic and alcohol-based (except 95% ethanol) simulants, ultrasonic extraction was performed with n-hexane:dichloromethane = 1:1 (V/V), and the samples were concentrated by nitrogen blowing to near dryness and then re-dissolved for determination. For isooctane and 95% ethanol simulants, direct rotary evaporation to near dryness and re-dissolution were carried out for determination. The four APs showed good linear relationships within the curve range, with correlation coefficients > 0.99. The detection limits were 0.02-0.3 mg/kg, and the quantification limits were 0.05-1.0 mg/kg. The results of the spiked recovery experiments on blank food simulants indicated that the recovery rates of the four Aps were 70.4%-117.8%, and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were 0.8%-11.0%. The pretreatment operation of the method is simple, with high sensitivity and good accuracy in both quantitative and qualitative analysis, providing a reference for the determination and analysis of APs migration in plastic food packaging materials.
